News from a source within New Line: we will hear about the exact date in 2-3 weeks, and the ROTK: EE will be released almost simultaneously around the world. Let’s hope that means “around the world” and not “around the world excluding a whole bunch of unlucky countries who have dodgy distributors and rampant video piracy problems.” [More]
